are we gonna talk about the fact that he literally gifted his soul to her????

[xvxblahhhxvx]

Just watched kpop demon hunters—it's amazing, everyone should go watch it.

One thing I see being brought up is how Jinu sacrificed himself instead of getting a happy ending, which seems odd considering the narrative is about accepting yourself for your past and your mistakes, and then Jinu had to die for him to "get redemption."

But I think that's the point.

Not that you have to sacrifice yourself, but that in the end, Jinu didn't believe he could truly get that happy ending. Until the end, he thought he was too far gone, but not Rumi. He still believed that Rumi was human, Rumi had a chance, and although they may have been the same, in the end, Rumi was able to accept herself in a way that Jinu never could. So he felt he had to sacrifice himself for her, not because he didn't deserve a happy ending, but he thought he didn't. But Rumi did, because she fought back against everything telling her she was wrong in a way that Jinu never could. So he sacrificed himself for her, so she could have a happy ending.

And if that's not the most tragic thing ever—

One of the biggest misconceptions I feel people have about Kunikida is that they think he doesn’t care about the people around him.

This sentiment that at best he tolerates Dazai’s antics and at worst he despises him. That he’s this angry and cold person who finds everyone around him a nuisance.

And it blows my mind because if anything Kunikida cares too much. Hell I’d go so far to say that’s what defines his character more then anything else.

Kunikida who comforts scared children with bombs strapped to them. Kunikida who is haunted by Sasaki’s death 2 years after the fact because he blames himself for not being able to save her.

Kunikida who tried to mentor Rokuzo, to give him a role model and a job. He was never going to give that blackmail to the police because he’d never hurt him.

Kunikida who had Kyouka’s phone alert him whenever someone else tries to ring it so that he could come to her aid.

Kunikida who was gonna let himself rot in prison for a crime he didn’t commit because he blamed himself for not being able to save that girl.

Kunikida who regularly cleans Katai’s house when he himself can’t do it. He drove for hours one day because Katai wanted to visit the sea. And got him to join the Agency because it would be good for him.

This is the same guy who has been so ready to throw his life away to save his friends and even strangers.

Kunikida who defies anyone who dares stand in the way of him protecting others. Even when guns are drawn, even when it would make more sense to back down he refuses too.

To his own detriment.

He was stabbed by Amenogozen and held onto that blade as long as he could so that Atsushi could get to Junichiro.

As for Dazai…Kunikida canonically calls Dazai twice a day to check up on him.

The Agency (55 minutes) has a protocol for when Dazai is fatally wounded. And Kunikida has ensured that everyone knows it, inside and out.

Kunikida knew Dazai was in the river in the first episode because (Dazai’s entrance exam) he put a tracker on him so that he can go fish him out of trouble.

He bought 30 bowls of tea on rice for Atsushi and then gathered the rest of the Agency on a moments notice all because Dazai wrote him a vague note.

For crying out loud the entire reason Dazai’s in the Agency to begin with is because Kunikida trusts him.

Like I can understand where the “oh Kunikida’s a perfect little rule follower” allegations come from. I don’t agree with them and neither does the series but I get where they come from.

But I don’t know where this came from.

Kunikida doesn’t care…Kunikida doesn’t even live for himself. He says multiple times that his ideals can live on without him. And in those moments he’s choosing to save the Agency over himself.

And the Agency are his ideals, they are the people he dedicates his life to. He is one of the most selfless characters in this entire series.

To the point that Kunikida chose protecting the city over trying to kill Mori. Because that’s what the Agejcy stands for, that’s what Fukuzawa would want and that triumphs anything else.

I won’t even accept the oh it’s because Kunikida’s angry and annoyed all the time because so is Chuuya. And I have yet to see anyone think that he doesn’t care for other people.

Kunikida throws Dazai around and suddenly he despises him and we can’t imagine they care about each other. But Akutagawa can hack off Atsushi’s legs off so often that even Atsushi isn’t phased by it and no yeah no debate whether they care about each other.

“Kunikida you are the strongest and most virtuous of us in the Agency. It’s why the enemy tried to break you first.” -Ranpo to Kunikida in the cannibalism arc.

“He’s the perfect flag bearer for us, unwavering, unyielding and compassionate towards the weak. A man born to be a leader, yup who else could it be but our very own Kunikida.” -Dazai in the OVA

And even Beast Kunikida hugs Beast Akutagawa and says tells him that he’s not evil and a part of the Agency so it’s a constant in every universe.

When the world is so jaded and cruel Kunikida defies it by being kind.

Rumi is such an amazing character. It’s rare that I connect with a character so deeply, but the way she’s written — raw, flawed, and painfully real — hits hard. Her insecurities and weaknesses don’t just weigh her down; they completely shatter her self-confidence, to the point where she literally loses her voice. It’s heartbreaking. Céline’s “education” didn’t make her stronger — it destroyed her self-esteem.

She cant accept her demonic heritage because it’s ugly, dangerous, a mistake. But it’s also part of her and her journey to accept that part of her that she hates so much comes with Jinu. He gives her a new perspective on her marks on who she is. That those marks don’t define her as a person but are still part of her identity.

But it also comes with Zoey and Mira. They both suffer from different issues but are also the victims of Céline lessons. They learned to be strong but at the cost of their mental health, their self esteem and even their relationship with each other.

And when you really look at it, Céline is just continuing a cycle of psychological abuse. One that probably started with the 1st Huntress. A legacy where self-sacrifice is everything. Where saving the world comes before your feelings, your mind, your life. But what makes this story so powerful is watching them finally push back. Watching them choose healing over duty. Watching them say, “We deserve more.”

It’s beautiful, it’s heartbreaking, it’s real.

close enough, welcome back ozai’s angels

I just noticed and it's breaking my heart so I'm going to point it out, while singing "What It Sounds Like" Mira and Zoey were fighting the other Saja Boys but Rumi was just walking towards Jinu and she was smiling at him. She wasn't going to fight him she was going to reach out to him again to try and save him.

And the lines she sings while looking straight at him as she's walking foreward through the battle are "Show me what's underneeth, I'll find your harmony. Fearless and unrefined, this is what it sounds like."

SHE WAS TRYING TO SAVE HIM!!!!!

Any other Americans watch the great British Bake Off like "how do y'all have that many types of cake??? You're one tiny island???? Some of these Paul must have made up!" And then the announcer will be like "ah yes the traditional ginger and licorice lace cake" and the other contestants will be like "I remember when me mum made me an apple and racoon cake for the first time I nearly cried" Yes yes this is all a normal thing to bake and eat

[xvxblahhhxvx]

I know that some British people take umbrage at Americans calling the Great British Bake Off relaxing, but it's just because GBBO is such a different kind of stressful from American baking shows.

American baking shows will be called something like "Cupcake Knife Fight", there's horror movie lighting everywhere and dramatic stings every 5 seconds. All of the contestants are shit talking each other and fist fighting over the one single deep fryer provided by production. It will show the judges all whispering to each other at their super villain table overlooking the whole kitchen, and one will be like, "Oh my god. Everyone look at Brenda right now. She's straight tanking it." And it will cut to Brenda, who is running around covered in flour and crying and also bleeding for some reason. Then you get a clip from an interview with one of the contestants, and they're like, "I really need to win this. Without this award money, I'm gonna need to close my restaurant, sell my dad, and live out of my car. AGAIN." Then the giant digital doomsday clock overhead lets out a horrid klaxon, the judges tell half of them that their cupcakes taste disgusting, and one of them gets eliminated and sent to walk down the dramatically-lit shame hallway never to be seen again.

Meanwhile GBBO is in a lovely, brightly colored tent, there are delightful and friendly hosts/jesters there to keep everyone entertained, and all of the B Roll is of like... a bumblebee going into a flower, or a lamb running in a field. And yes, there will be moments where someone will mess up their timing or something, and they'll be looking at their bake through the oven door like, "oh gosh I don't think this will rise in time!" Then they stand up to find Paul Hollywood directly behind them ominously. His creepy whitewalker eyes will glow white, and he'll say something like "the 12th of June. 2035. Drowning." And his eyes will go back to normal and he'll walk away. Then the baker gives a playful grimace to the camera and says "that didnt sound great, did it?". Cut to a sweet looking older woman sipping tea on a stool and she says "oo I do hope that Prue enjoys the taste of my sugary, sticky baps!". Then, at the end, someone gets a gold star for doing good, and the loser of the episode gets in the middle of a giant group hug. You see all of them at the end of the series at a giant carnival with their families and the post credits informs you that all of the contestants have become a Partridge Family-style traveling band and stayed friends forever.

Happy Birthday Dazai!
